Hey gamers: try bazzite Linux and you won’t ever have to worry about this. Try bringing one old machine over as a test and you’ll see for yourself.
I got it running in an afternoon recently. It reads all your windows docs off an external backup. The desktop version really can be a daily driver. The update script is a single click. Genuinely worth considering if you want at least some of your computer usage to not be recorded 24/7.
People have? The doge team have us Marshalls that let them in and push the staffers out of the way. It’s happened at the IRS, USAID, and others.
Here’s an agency which doge had no right to close still getting pushed out after blockading the office.

That’s an American not being recused by America. He’s had no due process. And unlike hostages held by the worst terrorists or oppressive regimes anywhere else in the world, they won’t even fight to get him back.
Leaving a comment to poll the chat: Who thinks the “existing contract with a credit rating agency” — who now thanks to this code injection will get a lot of new information that was previously filtered before it reached their part of the SS process — is tied to Peter Thiel?
(I honestly don’t know, just trying to ask the room)
Screen of the WSJ on mobile. For posterity.
Ah dang. Very cool though. Crazy collection. They also had the ice pick that killed Trotsky and an ENIGMA machine… (I think maybe both of those are the real things)
You can go see it in person in the spy museum in Washington DC!
The tactic on trumps side was to delay and delay and delay so why wouldn’t it make sense to use that same tactic for the same stacking effect?
Can try some of these ideas. https://www.wikihow.com/Watch-Deleted-YouTube-Videos-with-the-Url
You can make a windows registry change to have Chrome let you keep using uBlock Origin, with the V2 manifest. It will buy you six more months, basically the enterprise support period.
There was a handy shortcut created by the Security Now podcast you can use as a one-click file to update the policy. The show notes also give a more detailed breakdown of what’s going on.
The relevant section in the notes is page 10. The link to the file is page 12. https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-995-notes.pdf
My great uncle worked in cobol on a Ge225 for the us army and then several banks. To program they had to print them out on punch cards. Once you loaded the programs they then had to set up a completely different algorithm for each bank as it sent in data because nothing had been standardized and they each had their own system. Once you did set up the banks’ approved formulas in their module of code, this computer could do operations on the data coming in over a connection. These computers were already on a phone line to the banks way before Internet was a concept!
Here’s a fun manual from the successor called the GE 235. http://s3data.computerhistory.org/brochures/ge.235.1964.102646091.pdf
Thats right. Your vote counts the same as one in Cincinnati or Cleveland or Athens etc. then the whole state goes one way or another. Thats why turnout is so important!
Also there might be down ballot races you vote for that move the needle. Everyone forgets about local elections but they actually matter way more to your life on a day to day basis.
Thanks very much!
Can you share links to the further reading? I use nginx and would love to know more about what’s happening.
Remember when open ai was a nonprofit first and foremost, and we were supposed to trust they would make AI for good and not evil? Feels like it was only Thanksgiving…
Cool project! Will it explain some of the related concepts like envelopes and ADSR? It might be nice to talk a bit about calibration/microtuning so it can match external gear. Also maybe some recipes for making sure a readers synth they build has a few basics to work from.
Is the synth going to support the other scales? C is great but you’re gonna want the black keys.
In terms of things that make you stand out: paying attention to the UI/UX of the interface. How do people use it? What do you like about the other interfaces they have?
Another feature is support for drivers. Something Linux and windows have less adoption/support compared with Macs. Obviously it’d be nice if your synth could take in sound from controllers and output to other gear. Or have your sequencer drive a midi clock for other devices.
Another direction is to look at what parts of audio you find interesting. Maybe it’s low latency fax processing, maybe it’s elaborate acoustic modeling or reverb, or control of harmonics. All those are good ways to stand out and specialize. Or tools to help analyze and visualize audio.
Look at some of the existing VST ecosystem and you might get inspired!
What it is is the data they funneled from the NLRB and social security and others. See the hackathon at SSA last weekend of palantir being “evaluated” as a possible third party vendor. No contract signed. They just took the data. The NLRB whistleblower story is terrifying. They literally deleted the logs after doge visited.
